(12,994 posts)who've been lied to and led to believe they were doing drills going to different locations ("i feel shame that we came to this country" ), and more so for all Ukrainians suffering or killed.

(8,993 posts)They affirm what we've assumed and been told. They were lied to by Putin. Putin who cares little for life, freedom, laws, on and on.
I hope the internet can be made available near rural areas in Russia. They need to see and hear the truth.

(23,371 posts)go home after being in this video. Or they could have been tortured to say the things they said. There is a genocide going on. They were participating in it.
I hope the Ukrainians didn't coerce the statements. But, if they did I'm ok with it.

(87 posts)Like so many of our very human, devoted, dedicated, and patriotic men, and women who have given their lives for wars that are unjust, I am certain they believed they were doing the right thing for their country.
Unfortunately, they were mislead and mistaken. The US does so much evil .

(12,792 posts)then the Lt. Colonel, at least, deserves an academy award for his performance. They were obviously speaking from the heart and making impassioned statements that went way off script. They were even careful to try to point this out.
